Screwing MiG-23 radar is also good example.

How is the captor-m “in some ways” a successor to the gripen radar?

Both are derived from the Blue Vixen

iirc, it uses some parts from it along with implementing things learned during the development of the PS-05/A. Could be misremembering tho.

I have the Feeling the irst on the flanker is just way to fast so extremely hard to find and lock things compared to the MiG-23

If it’s much faster it would probably be completely useless in its current state

Su-30SM does have some nice looking radar MFDs …

Option to show the historical MFD Radar & RWR interface instead of the generic ones:

Hey guys, the Su-27 wing root is supposed to be flush, right? Or is this gap supposed to be here? I remember someone reported this was a bug for the Su-30SM, but is is meant to be here on the other Flankers?

Alright.

Su-33

Huh. I wonder why they made it flush on some variants but not others-

it is only not flush on the 27 and 35 iirc

every variant with canards has it smooth

Huh, odd.

thats because (from my understanding) there are two camps in sukhoi that have slightly different opinions
one wants canards, the other one dosent, for example

i think @BBCRF might know more than me about that than me

IIRC
Three factories.
Knaapo Su-35S and Su-30 without canards
Irkut Su-30 with canards
Novosib Su-34.

need to assign a KGB officer with a Mauser to every engineer in Irkut and Novosibirsk to force them make Su-35S and not invent their own incompatible flankers.

Why a Mauser and not Makarov or MP443

100%, based knaapo for not making canard flankers

The Su-33 has an increased area.
